MR. HENRY GREENRBAUM,
the real estate ana insurance man, said:
"My FEELINGS are in favor of denying citi-
Zenship to anyone that processes enarch-
ism. l will favor restriction of citizen
ship to such foreigners only as have an
honest determination to uphold and pro-
tect American institutions, to the same
extent as would be expected of native
born citizens. In common with all the
German citizens with whom have talked,
feel very sorry over the conduct of such
men as Johann Most and his followers,
and have not any sympathy with them at
all. | would be in favor Of legislation
authorizing the government to compel all
that class of people to leave our country
for our country's good. al would go
very slowly in restriction or prohibition
OF the immigration of any class or race in
ferior to the general population. This
country hiss grown from 3, 10000 of peo-
pie to 60,000,000 in one century, and has
absorbed great percentage of people of
inferior intellectually without any trou-
BILE. All have contributed, more or less,
20 the wonderful growth and develop
ment, in every direction, that tends to
make a great and prosperous nation.
MIR. PAUL o. sTENsLAND,
who has been for years q member of the
City Board of Education, expressed mis-
ideas as follows:
~ think there ought to be a general re-
striction Of immigration. l believe there
are about enough people now in this
country, with the natural growth and in
crease. When this country gets to be
over-populated we will be no better than
Europe. really think this country can
get along very well with its present pop
ulation. do not see that we should be
open to the surplus Of people from other
countries. II it is anything that makes
hard times in Europe it is the 0ver-popu-
lation." As to the anarchists Mr.. Stems
land said: "Such people come here under
the disguise OF respectable people. l do
not suppose they bring any credentials to
show their character. If immigration in
general is not to be prohibited l do not
believe the power of Punishment would
do much good. Russia is about as bad
off as any other country, and it exercises
that power. Hardly think that is neces-
sary. do not believe there is such
great number of anarchists after all. I
think this country aud It's people are able
to take Gaze of themselves under existing
laws.
"I would certainly be in favor of re-
strictfng or prohibiting the Importation
of such people as Italians and Greeks,
who are brought here in numbers to act
as laborers. They are fully as useless to
this country as the Chinese.

Variety Of We've,

The views of number Of prominent
foreign-born citizens on the subject of
the restriction of foreign immigration
were obtained by the Inter Ocean, with q
view to the casting Of more light on the
question discussed before the Union
League club on Tuesday evening.
THE HON. JOHN F. FINERTY,
the editor of the Citizen, said on the SUBJ
ject OF restriction:
81 came here myself from the old coun-
try, and certainly think it would not be
very good taste to object to anybody else
coming here. I believe that our laws are
capable of dealing with all fellows like
Most. Ii a man comes here and does not
obey the laws he ought to be punished.
Men m.y be very rebellious or dis
affected at their governments in
Europe. They may have had good
cause to be. I myself was disafected
with the English government when /
came here. But if men come to this
country, become citizens, obey the laws
and act decently, know of no reason
why we should exclude them because
they were disaffected in the old country,
in political sense. II they come here
and confound this government with the
Russian or any other despotic govern
ment, then 1 believe in dealing with them
